After
understanding the basics of simple series and parallel
circuit, I bought different resistors to make my first
prototype.
This design was composed of 75 groups of resistors
in parallel. Each group was made of 5 resistors
in series.
This montage produced 34 watts. For this montage
I decided to set a single dew heater with the full
power of 34 watts, because I thought this power could
be just enough to heat the totality of the corrector
plate.
So as to run this dew heater I used a computer power
supply of 4 amperes and 145 watts. After a few seconds
of running the resistor then produced heating.
To validate this montage I ran it during 6 hours to
be sure of the liability of each resistor and to check
whether one of them had burnt. I was now ready to
test the prototype in real conditions
